Bosnia postage stamps year 2008 Europa Cept – Postal Vehicles
The 2008 common theme for EUROPA CEPT was “The Letter/Postal Vehicles.” Since Bosnia and Herzegovina has three separate postal administrations, all three issued their own unique stamps for this theme:
- JP BH Pošta (Sarajevo)
- HP Mostar (Croatian Post, Mostar)
- Pošte Srpske (Serbian Post, Banja Luka)
While the main common theme was “The Letter,” the stamps did feature imagery related to communication and vehicles, though the designs are quite distinct.
Here is a breakdown of the typical value for each set in Mint Never Hinged (MNH) condition:
🇧🇦 2008 Europa CEPT – The Letter / Postal Vehicles
| Issuing Authority | Composition | Approximate Value (USD) | Notes on Design |
| JP BH Pošta (Sarajevo) | 2 Stamps + 1 Souvenir Sheet (S/S) | $8.00 – $12.00 (Complete issue) | The stamps and sheet generally focus on writing a letter and the act of sending mail. |
| HP Mostar (Croatian Post) | 2 Stamps (sometimes includes an S/S) | $4.00 – $8.00 (Set of 2 stamps) | These stamps also focus on the theme of writing letters and communication. |
| Pošte Srpske (Banja Luka) | 2 Stamps | $3.00 – $5.00 (Set of 2 stamps) | These stamps often feature a similar “Writing Letters” motif, sometimes including images of historical mail carriers. |
ℹ️ Key Points on Value
- BH Pošta (Sarajevo) is often the most valuable because the set typically includes a commemorative Souvenir Sheet (block) alongside the two individual stamps. One dealer lists the MNH Sarajevo Block alone for about $8.55 USD.
- The prices listed are based on dealer and current online marketplace listings for the MNH (Mint Never Hinged) condition. Used or hinged stamps will be worth significantly less.
- A “Complete Bosnia 2008 Europa” collection would contain all three sets (Sarajevo, Mostar, and Srpska) and their blocks, which would have a total retail value well over $15.00 USD.
